Alright... so this is a really weird question, but I hope that some people will have more rational explanations for it. Someone once told me that animals are known to see things that we can't see; entities, ghosts, spirits or whatever you want to call it. Well I don't really believe or not believe in any of that kind of thing, I just don't really put much thought into it.
But from time to time... my cat's behavior makes me wonder. There are times when he will stare off at something that doesn't appear to be there, but he is so focused that I can tell he sees something. And sometimes I'll get up and look closer, to see if it's a bug or something... but there's just nothing there. And then my cat is a really hyper cat, which I've accepted as normal... but then there are times when he goes BESERK beyond normal, and he's running and jumping all over the place making the biggest commotion. He'll jump on the couch and pounce at something (again not visible), and then quickly jump to another part and pounce at it again, as if it's moving and he's trying to catch it. And in that instance, I know it wouldn't be a bug because it's just not feasible for a bug to move from that great of a distance in 2 seconds.
The scariest though... is when he's facing me and all of a sudden his back starts to arch and his hair starts to stand and his tail fluffs up (Which I'm sure most of you would know is a sign of sudden fear). I can see him looking past me, and I'll turn around and there's nothing there. There was no sudden noise or anything like that.
Anyway... is this just me, or does anyone else have similar experiences? And has anyone found an explanation for it?
